There are some good films in those lists: the matrix, star wars, flight of the navigator and some crap ones, Ghost Busters please! And i’ve never understood 2001, it was a highly influential film though for the science fiction genre!

I was staring at my DVD’s today while the TV was on, and realized I forgot Gattica. Shame on me!

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
